Answer:

Explanation:

This equation is of the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation. In our case, this is 2/5. One thing that separates a direct variation from simply a line (although a direct variation does in fact represent a line when graphed), is that the graph of a direct variation will ALWAYS go through the origin. That means that it will never have the "+ k" at the end of its equation and its y-intercept is always 0.
